INTRODUCTION
The AD-8922A is a remote controller. Read this manual completely before using the AD-8922A in order to
ensure a sufficient understanding for proper use.
- Outline
The AD-8922A is connected to an A&D manufactured weighing instrument, using the RS-232C serial interface.
Displays the weighing data transmitted by the weighing instrument.
Key operations remotely control the weighing instrument.
(Entering the function setting mode of the weighing instrument is not available. Available operations
depend on the weighing instrument used. See Table 2 in "1-2 Applicable Instruments".)
The data the AD-8922A receives can be output, using the RS-232C serial interface. So, external
devices such as a personal computer or a printer can be connected to the AD-8922A.
Can be panel-mounted.
Various options such as BCD output, comparator output, current loop input and analog output are
available. For details, refer to "9 OPTIONS" and the following relevant chapters.
When connected to the AD-4212C, the AD-8922A can change the response characteristic, calibrate
the AD-4212C using the external weight, and both instruments can share power.
(Power can be supplied to both instruments by plugging the AC adapter into either the AD-4212C or
the AD-8922A. For details, refer to "3-3 Turning the Power on ".)

- Display
Displays the weighing data and the unit (or mode) received. The unit (or mode) may be different from
that of the weighing instrument.
Turns on the stabilization indicator when the header of the weighing data received is "ST", "QT", or "WT".
Turns on the comparator indicator when the comparison results are added to the data received.
Applicable to GX-K, GF-K, GP and AD-4212A/B. (Function setting "Cp-r")
When nothing has been received for two seconds or more, the bar display [- - - - -] appears. By
changing the function setting, the previous data received is displayed until the next data is received
(Hold display). During the hold display, the hold indicator is turned on.
Note: When the data is in eight digits, the highest-order digit is displayed in the upper left
corner as shown below.
For example, if the weighing data is 101.00000 g, the display is like .
- Key Operation

- Turning the Power on
Insert the AC adapter plug into the AC adapter jack located on
the rear of the AD-8922A. Plug the AC adapter into an
appropriate electrical outlet.
When connected to the AD-4212C, power can be supplied to
both instruments by plugging the AC adapter into either the
AD-4212C or the AD-8922A.
(Both instruments can have their AC adapter connected at the
same time.)
- Operation
The AD-8922A displays the weighing data transmitted by the weighing instrument used.
The AD-8922A key operations remotely control the weighing instrument.
Available operations depend on the weighing instrument. See Table 2 in "1-2 Applicable Instruments".
- Example of Use
A personal computer is connected to the AD-8922A and the weighing data can be transmitted to the
personal computer, using Windows communication tools (WinCT).
To protect against inadvertent operations, the AD-8922A keys can be disabled. (Function setting
"C5et 0").
When nothing has been received for two seconds or more, the bar display [- - - - -] appears. By
changing the function setting, the previous data received is displayed until the next data is received
(Hold display). (Function setting "Hold 1 ")

FUNCTION SETTINGS
The function settings specify the parameters for the AD-8922A performance. These parameters stored,
even if the AC adapter is removed, are maintained in non-volatile memory.
The function menu consists of two layers. The first layer is the “Class” and the second layer is the “Item”.
Each item is selected by the SAMPLE key. The parameter of the selected item is changed by the
RE-ZERO key. Finally, the parameter is stored and is enabled by the PRINT key.
Example
This example sets “9600 bps” for “Baud rate” and “8 bits NONE” for “Data bits, parity bit”.
Note: Use much care when changing parameters. The AD-8922A may not function properly
when the settings and operational environment are not appropriate.

error10 appears.
The communications settings of the AD-8922A and the weighing
instrument are not the same.
Check the settings.
error11 appears.
The weighing instrument data format is incorrect.
Set the data format to A&D standard format. Also check whether or not
data other than weighing data is output.
The bar display
remains and no
weighing data
appears.
Is the weighing instrument in the stream mode?
Only the stream mode displays the weighing data continuously. Other
modes display the data only when received. When the hold display is
selected in the AD-8922A function setting, the previous data received is
displayed until the next data is received.
Are the communications settings correct?
Is the cable correct?
The display flickers.

OPTIONS
The AD-8922A has various options available as follows.
For details on each option, refer to the relevant chapter.
AD-8922A-01 BCD output
Outputs the weighing data received from the weighing instrument using the RS-232C serial interface,
in BCD format.
AD-8922A-04 Comparator output
Compares the weighing data received from the weighing instrument using the RS-232C serial
interface with the upper or lower limit value and contact-outputs the results.
When connected to the AD-4212C, the both instruments can share power.
AD-8922A-05 Current loop input
Receives the current loop output from the weighing instrument and displays the weighing data.
The weighing data received can be output using the RS-232C serial interface.
The AD-4212C does not have current loop output. Therefore, this option can not be used.
AD-8922A-06 Analog output
Converts the specified digits of the weighing data received from the weighing instrument, using the
RS-232C serial interface, into voltage and outputs the value.
- Confirming the AD-8922A Software Version
Before installing an option, confirm the AD-8922A software version.
The software version is displayed as "px.xx" for approx. 1 second before entering the function setting
mode.

- Installing the Option
Install the option as shown below. The installation procedure is the same for all the options.
1. Disconnect the AC adapter.
2. Remove the two screws and pull out the RS-232C board
provided as standard as shown in the illustration.
3. Insert the option board, along the guides on the left and
right sides.
4. Using the two screws removed in step 2, fasten the option
board.

The AD-8922A remote controller is connected to an A&D manufactured weighing instrument using the RS-232C serial interface to display the weighing data transmitted by the weighing instrument. Key operations of the controller remotely control the weighing instrument. Data received can be output using the RS-232C serial interface. Various options are available including BCD output, comparator output, current loop input, and analog output. When connected to the AD-4212C, the devices can share power, and the AD-8922A can change response characteristic, calibrate using external weight.
